Chapter 50
an hour passed, when very faint footsteps could be heard.I squinted, lying on the ground, carefully peeking.Only to see, the little dwarf who appeared last night, holding a small stone in his hand, wa..."Come on, come on, we must get out of here. We still have to find Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother! Let's go!"
I gritted my teeth and managed to carry a mole.
The flashlight was running low on battery, the light had dimmed considerably. I was shirtless, bending over and supporting her behind with my hands, we just kept walking along the riverbank.
Sweat ran down my forehead and into my eyes, stinging a little.
Stop and go, go and stop, I drink river water when I'm thirsty, and eat some soaked biscuits when I'm hungry. From beginning to end, I never thought about giving up a single mole. I have to save my partner.
Here, I can't see the sun or moon, and I don't know if it's day or night outside. I have a mole on my back, and I'm cold and hungry with trembling legs. I don't know how long I've been walking, but suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.
My legs gave way, and I fainted.
......
My body felt a little warm, and I slowly opened my eyes.
Near my ear, the sound of burning firewood crackled and popped incessantly, with waves of fragrance seeping into my nostrils.
At that moment, a face covered in hair suddenly appeared.
I jumped up and took two steps back.
This startled me; I thought I had run into a man-eating wild beast.
"You... Who are you!" I asked, keeping my distance and wary.
He mimicked my words, saying: "You... who are you"
">
I backed up two steps and pointed at him, saying: "I asked you who you are. Why are you imitating me"
To my surprise, he also took two steps back and pointed at me, saying: "I asked you who you are, why are you imitating me"
">
"Damn it," I blurted out, "Are you an idiot!"
This man full of hair said in a mocking tone: "Damn, are you stupid!"
I am speechless, I hurriedly went to see how a mole is doing.
Seeing her, I let out a breath of relief. Although she still had that mole and looked unwell, her breathing was noticeably more steady compared to before. That's a good sign.
I took a deep breath, turned my head to look at him, and said, "No matter what, thank you. Thank you for saving me and my friend."
">
He still learns to talk like me.
I haven't even made it out of the underground dark river yet, and I don't know where this guy got all this dry firewood. Watching the fish sizzling over the fire, I instinctively swallowed hard.
"May I have some fish, please"
I said.
"Excuse me, can I have some fish"
He said.
This weirdo keeps trying to imitate me, so I thought of a clever retort: "Go ahead and eat some, don't be shy."
">
As expected, he mimicked me and said, “You eat, don't be polite.”
My heart leaped with joy, so I won't be polite.
I hadn't had any hot food for a couple of days, so I wolfed it down as soon as it was served. I said I'd just have a little, but in the end, I ate the whole grilled fish, leaving only the bones.
"Pff," I said after swallowing the last bite, spitting out a fishbone. "You should try some too."
I thought he would still learn to talk like me this time.
Unexpectedly....
Only then did the strange man seem to come to his senses. After a moment, he shook his head vigorously.
I was surprised to find that this person's eyes now seemed a little different from before. It was an indescribable feeling.
He lowered his head to look at the pile of fish bones on the ground, then slowly lifted his head again.
"Who are you, and where's my fish"veral times, but couldn't figure out how to open it. We discovered that the lid was sealed with molten copper, and brute force wouldn't budge it."You step back, I'll give it a try," the beggar Liu dre...
